I have a thing about playing with paper :eek:
My son said that his Mum has a black belt in origami :rolleyes: and a fascination for paper engineering.

I find it relaxing :) but, I have found a link to a wonderful Kirigami (cut not folded, paper) book that makes the architectural type models I've been playing with recently.

Unfortunately for me it's in Russian, and I can follow it well enough by illustration, but I'd love a copy of the book. So, does anyone on the boards speak Russian ? and if so, is there any chance you could find out if the book is available ?
Does Amazon do Russia ? …..or does Ru mean Romanian ?

p.s. This one.

There is an app you can get that translates words if you hover you're camera over it. Wouldn't work for reading a whole book, but for stuff like instructions it ia supposedly good.

I forget the bame but a but of carefull googling should find it.

Amazon UK has the book for sale, the book is Architectural Origami by Tatyana Stolyarova (sometimes spelt with an I instead of a y), there is a page on Etsy with same name so may be same person, here, https://www.etsy.com/ca/people/tanusha

Book is expensive though, here it is https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/5462014635/ref=olp_product_details?_encoding=UTF8&me=

That's the book :D
You're not joking it's expensive though. Wonder if I can get a paperback edition ?

Thanks folks, the help is much appreciated :D :approve:

Mary, if it's any help I work a stones throw from the waterstones shop Joonsy mentioned, if you end up making enquiries and they can get it in for you cheaper than Amazon id be happy to pick up and forward on to you.

Get the IBSN number of the book, contact the big book retails, such as waterstones and ask if there is an English version or equivalent.
